No, I don't use it, but when I turned it on just now, it did make me feel like it would be easier to deal with multiple panels. If that's something that gets people interested initially -- that is, if it's a feature that helps new users -- it might be important in converting new users to paying customers. Chrome generally helps new users but hinders power users.

If you were to remove it, I think you could consider promoting the existing functionality to something more prominent. It's hidden a little under View | Layout. Consider promiting View | Layout to a traditional "Window" root menu; use the icons on the toolbar as the icons on the menu items, so the user can visually select the format they're interested in. That way the rather neat feature isn't buried.

I just got the latest beta and I was really sad to see the toolbar was gone. I tracked down this thread and decided to make an account and respond.

Please bring it back. I don't really care if other people didn't use it, I did. Opening files is much easier with a single click on the open file button than it is to move my mouse all the way to the menu and drag it to the open file option. This applies to all the buttons up there, they are simply shortcuts, like keyboard shortcuts, these are mouse shortcuts if you will. If you don't use them, disable the goddamn toolbar, but why remove it entirely from the program? This decision mystifies me.

Out of interest (I'm sure Jon would like to hear as well as he really wants to make Sublime keyboard oriented) what other commands/activities have you reaching to the mouse while using Sublime?

Column selection?

The minimap (heh)Multi-line text selectionWord selection - as in, double clicking a word to select it - come to think of it i do miss the triple-click-selects-whole-line functionality of other editors...Clicking on other tabs (i do sometimes use ctrl-tab if the tab is close by)
